The Knuckle Saloon

The service was great! We ordered pulled pork, brisket, pizza, a pretzel, and egg rolls!
The pulled pork sandwich was excellent and came with tater tots (they were perfect).
The brisket was good (a little cold) and came with smoked baked beans (amazing). The pretzel had a garlic butter sauce which was just enough and the eggs rolls were great (the sauce was spicy and just a tade too much for my taste). The pizza crust was excellent but the sauce had no flavor (very bland). Overall it was excellent and I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

Excellent service! We were on a MidWestern Road trip from Iowa to Badlands, Stugis, Deadwood, Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, Custer Loop, and across Nebraska Home! The bartender was awesome, my husband was kidding and asked for a virgin Shirley Temple while sitting and she brought him one as she was bringing us a beer! 👍🏻. Great appetizers and friendships made. Will return during season.

I went in May ...not during the rally. It was still a great experience! Fun location with friendly, no-nonsense staff. There is (of course) a very long bar but there are also high top tables, standard tables for four, and longer tables for groups of eight. There are a number of pool tables brightly lit in the center of the large space. It is easy to imagine this entire room filled during the Sturgis rally given how many people were here to visit on a random weekend in May.
Oh, the food. It is almost a second thought for everyone going there, even if they say they are going because they are hungry. The food is decent. It is nothing to go out of your way for but it is many steps above any fast food. Think mom & pop diner food in a very small town where they are afraid of spices. (This is where they lost a star. It would have been two but the staff was so willing to bring any and every condiment that we could make it great to our own taste.)
Next to the main bar room there is outdoor bar space that is used only during the month of the rally. Then next to that is the gift shop. What I particularly liked was that they sold the cups they used to serve soft drinks.and iced tea in, with their logo on them. They did have all the typical wares too: magnets, hats, T shirts.
If you have any interest in motorcycles or in someone who has an interest in motorcycles, this should be one of your stops.

Comfort Food, Chapter 01.. Marinated Beef Tips with sauteed onions and mushrooms. Served up with piping hot fries and brown gray! Kelly guided me through my first visit and food selection.. she knew what I needed! My first several bites rendered me speechless (my mouth was full of mmmm's). It was good, but for me, not perfect. After the beef tips started to cool a bit, it became apparent that the dish was way too salty; at least for me. Not a deal breaker, because if, no.. when I go back; I would request no added salt, assuming that the cook adds salt during the cooking process. But, as Kelly suggested, upon my return, it would be best to try different menu items. Thanks Kelly.
